Kasamatsu Race 1 - Race 1 - 1400
KANHIZAKURA (4) Only fair when 5th last time at this track. Expected to rebound. Hard to dismiss. EL DJEM (5) Disappointing run when 5th last run at the track. Expected to rebound and returns to a rise in trip. First appearance for a new trainer. Strong chance. A SHIN SLAPPER (7) Looked good when 2nd last run at Monbetsu and facing an increased distance. Yuusuke Tsutsui and Hiroshi Sasano have shared plenty of success together. Go close. T O BERRY (6) Average performance when 10th last time at Monbetsu but stepping up in distance. First start for a new trainer. Won't be far away during the run. Keep in mind.

Has finished last at her past two starts at this track, beaten a long way behind Lacrime most recently after settling too far back and making no impact. The run prior was even more decisive, beaten out of sight behind Satsuki Quantum when sent around at big odds. The class drop is some help, but her 1400m record offers little encouragement and a sharp lift is required.

Third-up now after a heavy last-start defeat at this track, finishing last and beaten a long way behind Nine Symphony after getting a long way back and failing to improve. Her debut over 800m was better, beaten just over five lengths after being handy enough to the turn. That gives some hope of progression, but she has to rebound strongly to get into the major money.

Returns from a four-month break after finishing a distant last on debut at this track, where she was unwanted in the market and never got into the race. She has not raced at around 1400m before, so there is still plenty to prove under race pressure. The stable has standing, but race evidence is thin and she must show far more this time.

Produced the best recent reference point when third at Mombetsu two starts ago, beaten just under three lengths by Ikor despite starting at big odds. She was below that level at this track last time when fifth behind Lacrime, but was still near the top of betting and now meets a race where her recent rating stands out. The class drop and race fitness make her the clear horse to beat.

Held her position to the turn before fading late when fifth over 800m at this track last start, beaten six and a half lengths by Mashirokun after firm market respect in an open race. The start prior was poor when last and beaten a long way, so consistency is the query. She has placed once from three starts, but was unplaced at her only 1400m attempt and shapes more as a place hope.

Returns from a one-month freshening after finishing tenth at Mombetsu, beaten over 11 lengths behind Southern The Baron, but she did work home fairly from a long way back. Her previous run was plain when dropping out late, so the bare form has holes. Even so, the class drop, fourth-up set-up and leading jockey booking give her a stronger winning profile than the figures suggest.

Returns from a five-week freshening after an improved second at Mombetsu, beaten five lengths by Ange Merci after settling handy and working home evenly at big odds. That was a clear step from her ninth the start prior, and the leading trainer-jockey combination adds weight to the case. She is new to 1400m, so the trip is the main question, but her latest run gives her genuine place claims.
